the lillypad line-up

It's time for the Lilypad and Friends Christmas Open House!  For those of you who are not familiar with this adorable house sale, this weekend you will have the chance to come and peruse handmade items from local artisans.  Everything from baby items to handmade body products, and of course our delicious cupcakes and cookies will be among those things that will be available for purchase.  Skip the mall and come shop at Corinna's house! One day only: Saturday, December 3 at 885 Renfrew Street, Winnipeg from 10am until 4pm. 

Here's a sneak peak of what we'll be offering at Saturday's sale!

Cupcakes...

Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcake.   This is the first time we are offering this flavor!  It's light, moist and fluffy.  Super yummy, and topped with fresh whipped cream.  (sorry, we haven't got a picture of those lovely cupcakes)

Chocolate Cupcake with Peppermint Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  Our classic chocolate cupcake topped with Peppermint Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  The peppermint flavor is achieved by pulverizing candy canes and folding them into vanilla buttercream, which gives the frosting a much more authentic peppermint taste than just using extract.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake.  One of our best sellers!  We had to bring this back to the sale this year!  A moist, dense, chocolate cake with a peanut butter ball baked right inside!  Topped with Peanut Butter Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

There's the cupcake lineup!  The great things about this sale is that you'll be able to purchase a variety pack! As many of you know, when you order full size cupcakes, we have to take a minimum order of a dozen cupcakes in one flavor.  Well, here's the chance to switch it up!  Take a half or full dozen in any flavor combo you like!

We're also offering two different cookies this year.  A massive chocolate brownie cookies filled with chunks of peanut butter cup, reminiscent of our Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake, and another classic Christmas confection from our childhood.  Come on down and check them out!  They are worth it!

We hope you'll pay us a visit on Saturday!  Come enjoy a mug of hot apple cider and some stress free shopping!

our first wedding experience

We had the pleasure of being a part of a wedding this summer!  We worked with the Bride to come up with a beautiful cupcake display of around 300 cupcakes.  We whipped these cupcakes up the day before the wedding and iced them the day of, just before delivery.  The Bride had also provided us with fresh pansies from a relatives garden, which really give these cupcakes a finishing touch.  There were not enough flowers for each cupcake, so we evenly distributed them among the flavors.

The flavors they chose were, Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Vanilla Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and Vanilla Cupcakes with Lemon Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  A delicious selection!

On the day of the wedding we found all the platters set up with a blue background with homemade fabric bunting.  A very beautiful effect.  We had to do a little re-arranging in order to fit as many cupcakes on the table as possible, but in the end I think it looked spectacular!

The Bride had also asked for a few more details, such as the "Sweet" signs to label each flavor, and a dozen gluten free cupcakes, which we purchased from Cake-ology, a wonderful local bakery.

A few weeks after the wedding we were sent a link to the Photographer's blog, Photography by Jodi, and absolutely loved the pictures!  She truly captured the beauty of this cupcake display and made our cupcakes look even yummier!  Make sure you check out Jodi's blog here!  Thanks, Jodi for allowing us to use your photos!

What a fun experience!  We really enjoyed pulling it all together!

indulgent easter cupcakes

We're always looking for a new way to make regular cupcakes more fun and more indulgent! We decided to experiment with chocolate eggs and our newly found vanilla cupcake recipe.

Vanilla cupcakes...or cake for that matter...is notoriously dry. We have tested and tasted numerous vanilla cupcake recipes and finally found one that meets our standards. This recipe is simple and produces moist results time and time again. We can now offer vanilla cupcakes as an option.

So. Take a yummy vanilla cupcake and bake it with a cadbury creme or caramilk egg inside and you have perfection! We decided to experiment with this concept and tried baking the cupcakes with a regular chocolate egg, a creme egg, and a caramilk egg. The result was so tasty that we have decided to offer this as our Easter cupcake. Contact us soon to place your order and wow all your friends and family this Easter with these indulgent tasty treats!
